Biomites are artificial stem cells that can replace any cell in your body. No more kidney failure, no severed spines or blood disease. No cancer. Pharmaceuticals become obsolete. With each dose of biomites, we become stronger, we become smarter and prettier. We become better. At what point are we no longer human? Jamie wants to be a halfskin. But Jamie's body is already 49.9% biomites. The rest is clay - her God-given organic cells. Any more biomites and she becomes a halfskin. And halfskins are shutdown.

Henry and Jason led normal lives in Seattle before they were abducted to another world. Their kidnapper, the vain, self-styled god Dolos, refuses to send them back unless they can accomplish an impossible task. Oddly, Dolos doesn't seem to care if they succeed or not. Luckily, Henry and Jason studied Historical European Martial Arts (HEMA) on Earth. Unfortunately, a Japanese American EMT and a geeky IT programmer don't have many other useful skills on a sword-and-sorcery world like Ludus.

Ripley's a tomboy at heart who has never met a stranger. Her plans were to finish her veterinary studies and take her family to the country, where life wouldn't be such a struggle. She thought the worst she'd have to deal with at the University of Maryland were the unwelcome advances and attitudes of affluent students, and the occasional East Coast hurricane. She never expected the sun to fall down.

The first invasion of Earth was beaten back by a coalition of corporate and international military forces and the Chinese army. China has been devastated by the Formic's initial efforts to eradicate Earth life forms and prepare the ground for their own settlement. The Scouring of China struck fear into the other nations of the planet; that fear blossomed into drastic action when scientists determined that the single ship that wreaked such damage was merely a scout ship. There is a mothership out beyond the solar system's Kuiper Belt, and it's heading into the system.

When Quentin Draith wakes up in a private sanatorium, he has no memory of who he is or how he received the injuries riddling his body. All he knows is that he has to get out, away from the drugs being pumped into him and back to the real world to search for answers. His first question: How did his friend Tony’s internal organs fill with sand, killing him in a Las Vegas car crash? After a narrow escape, he tracks down the basic facts: He is an investigator and blogger specializing in the supernatural - which is a good thing, because Quentin’s life is getting stranger by the minute.

Publisher's Summary

The Annihilation of Foreverland: When kids awaken on an island, they're told there was an accident. Before they can go home, they will visit Foreverland, an alternate reality that will heal their minds.

Foreverland Is Dead: Six teenage girls wake with no memories. One of them is in a brick mansion, her blonde hair as shiny as her shoes. The others are in a cabin, their names tagged to the insides of their pants. Their heads shaved. Slashes mark the cabin wall like someone has been counting.

Hundreds of them.

Ashes of Foreverland: Tyler Ballard was in prison when his son created a dreamworld called Foreverland, a place so boundless and spellbinding that no one ever wanted to leave. Or did. Now his son is dead, his wife is comatose, and Tyler is still imprisoned.

Authors should not read their own material!

This was an awful story. I couldn't understand what the point of the story was. Were the people living in a Matrix story? This author also sounded like he had cotton or marbles in his mouth...Don't read your own novels. There's a kind of narcissism involved when writers insist on doing it. I just find it distasteful, sorry. Stephen King has read his own stories & it never sounded right.

Foreverland boxed

I got 1/2 way thru before giving up on this.The premise while interesting turned it into a very hard book for me to keep sorted.The beginning with Danny coming to the facility and not knowing who, what,where or why kept me intrigued for a few hours.It just went on for too long.Tony Bertauski is a fine narrator.I was provided this book free by the author ,narrator or publisher.

Amazingly Inventive and Compelling Science Fiction

I was one of the fortunate readers who had access to two parts of Tony Bertauski's fascinating saga and thus jumped on the opportunity to get the full story. "Foreverland Boxed" in all its sections is original, frightening, suspenseful and provocative science fiction. What if we had the capacity to wipe the frontal lobes of young persons with few resources and social ties and let the richest 1% take over young bodies when their own bodies are sick, old, or not beautiful enough?

Recently I re-read two of my favorite sf classics, "This Perfect Day" by Ira Levin and "Beggars in Spain" by Nancy Kress. What makes these books timeless is the way they focus on attributes of human nature that never change: our drive for power, comfort, wealth, and security. And what happens when someone questions these values, and the way they are achieved? Unlike all other species, we are the one animal with an uneasy relationship with our environment and members of our own human race. We have yet to find a socioeconomic solution that takes care of everyone's needs--and in the process of seeking this solution, we have committed unforgivable atrocities.

Greed in all its forms is the true villain in Foreverland. Greed for youth, greed for a longer life, greed for fame and recognition--as well as the traditional greed for things...more and better things than the neighbors. Extreme wealth does give its possessors power over the less wealthy, and unfortunately wisdom is not a prerequisite to wealth. In three sections, "Foreverland Boxed" explores a development worse than slavery or the trade in body parts--rich old men, rich old women, and a "Foundation" of dubious distinction begin a body translation process all too terrifying in its potential reality.

Tony Bertauski creates rich sensory worlds where even the inhabitants can't distinguish the "created" from "reality." Resistance leads to torture and death. As in all good literature, we understand the desires of the "bad guys" even if we can't tolerate them...we are forced to question what we would do, given the money and a chronic fatal illness? Bertauski also narrates, and the power of his quiet, almost intimate voice in your mind makes the plot's unfolding even more explosive.

All too often, the current dystopias lack adequate scientific underpinnings and seem to tell the same three stories: we have destroyed Earth and need another planet, aliens want our planet so we need to fight them and/or find another planet, or we are just on the verge of destroying Earth so we make last-ditch efforts to rescue what's left of humanity and the planet. This dystopia based on social dysfunction is intense and compelling without aliens or space battles. I give "Foreverland Boxed" five stars--you won't be able to put it down.

"The Author/Narrator provided this book in exchange for a fair, unbiased review."
